 Show. Next week we hope to be able to announce it^in our 

 usual list of forthcoming Poultry Shows. 



STANNINGLEY AND FARSLEY POULTRY 

 SHOW. 



The first annual Show of this Society was held on the 27th of last 

 month. The Committee chiefly consists of working men ; but the 

 moral and pecuniary support of the tradesmen and gentry of the neigh- 

 bourhood have proved the mainstay of the Society. The arrangements 

 were excellent, and there was nothing to mar the pleasure of the 

 visitors, except a little rain which fell at the close of the Show. The 

 entries were good in all the sections, and the quality of the stock very 

 fine. Some of the best of the Yorkshire exhibitors were represented 

 in the poultry classes, and the Pigeons formed a most attractive portion 

 of the Show. The pens for both sections were quite new, on Turner's 

 principle, and were borrowed from the Allerton Society. 



The Cage Birds were shown in a tent separated from the other 

 departments, and it was crowded to excess during the latter part of 

 the day.

Poultry Show at the Crystal Palace. — We are informed 

 that negotiations are now pending with the Crystal Palace 

 Company, for a repetition of a London Show this year, and that 



BINGLEY POULTRY SHOW. 



The best of the chicken shows of the present season is, undoubtedly, 

 that held at Bingley, under the auspices of the Airedale Agricultural 

 Association. The greater part of the poultry pens were arranged 

 round the sides and part through the centre in single tier, the 

 only drawback being that the Pigeons were placed on the top, which 

 was a great disadvantage for both Judges and the public. Of Game 

 fowl there were some good birds in both classes, the cup falling 

 to Black Reds, and the display of Duckwings was such as we did not 

 expect to find at this time of year, the colour of both cockerels and 

 pullets being very fine. Spanish were but moderate, but the Dorlrings 

 very large and good in colour, and Mr. Kell won the cup for this 

 section with birds of this variety. Cochins and Brahmas were of high 

 quality. But with the exception of the winners the Golden-spangles 

 were poor. The rest of the Hamburglis mustered well. The quality 

 was of high order, although the Gold-pencils showed somewhat later 

 than was the case last year. Polands were good and were all Silvers. 

 All the Bantams were good, and the cnp awarded to Game. In the 

 Selling Class Game were first, Spanish second, and Polands third. 

 The Ducks were large and good in beak and plnmage. 



Among the Pigeons were some of the best specimens in the king- 

 dom. In Pouter cocks many of the birds were out of feather. The 

 first "White, and the second Blue. In Pouter hens a capital Yellow 

 was first, and won also the cup for the first eight classes. The Carriers 

 were well represented in both sexes. The Almonds were good through- 

 out, and! the first-prize pen nearly perfect. In other Tumblers, Red 

 Mottles were first, Bluebeards second, and Kites third. The Barbs 

 ■were very broad in skull and good in eye. In Owls, "Whites were 

 first, and Blues second and third. The Jacobins were a neat lot, close 

 in [hood and chain, and very sound in colour; but the best gathering 

 of this section was the Fantails, the carriage and style perfect. In 

 the " Variety class," Porcelain Swallows were first, Reds second, and 

 Runts third. The first in the Selling class were Agates, and second, 

 Turbits. 



The heaviest Rabbits were 13$ and 13J lbs. The length of the ears 

 22 inches, and the width a little over 5 inches. The first-prize Lop- 

 ear was a grand Black and White buck, the second Grey, and the 

 third Tortoiseshell. The class for varieties was good in all respects, 

 the first a perfect Himalayan, the second Silver-Grey, and the third 

 Angora, and many capital specimens had to be content with com- 

 mendation only.
